Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville and Chelsea winger Eden Hazard have become the latest inductees into the Premier League's Hall of Fame.
The body was formed in 2021 to recognise and celebrate the achievement of players and managers who made significant contributions to the Premier League since it was formed in 1992.
There are currently 26 members, including managers Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger.
Players must have retired by 1 January 2025 to be considered.
